Book Synopsis: Savage Indian attacks. A lone, war-crazed Blackfoot stalking them. The courts of Queen Victoria and Russia's Czar plotting to thwart their valiant gamble for the future of a new nation. Bitter winter coming. Yet America's first wagon train pushes its way westward through the Rockies. Ahead is Oregon, the Promised Land -- and the endless miles of hardship and danger, treachery and death that stand between them and their beloved goal.
WYOMING! Men, women and children staking their all on the slimmest chance of success. They depend for survival on men like wagon scout Whip Holt, never bested by man or beast. But now two women -- the beautiful widow Cathy van Ayl, and the Indian maiden La-ena who was once Whip's woman -- ride side by side on the train. Each wants him, and either has the power to become his fatal weakness!
